Why it matters
Two itinerant beggars rest by the roadside after a storm near Winchelsea. The blind girl feels the sun on her face, while her sister looks at a double rainbow.
Did you know?
- Millais corrected the colour order of the second rainbow after it was first shown.
- A tortoiseshell butterfly rests on the blind girl's shawl.
- The sign around her neck reads 'Pity the Blind'.
